To Keep Away Creditors.

Creditors are species of parasite, in.
testing the human race, usually, brought
on by luxurious living. Persons who
are troubled with them may free them
selves by the bankruptcy treatment; but
this always leaves an unpleasant irri-
tation behind, and spots that are never
effaced. Take water instead of beer;
toss the tcigar-case into the fireplace;
eat mutton instead of venison. and NUT
ton broth instead of turtle soup; il needs
be clean your own boots and shoes. and
brush your own clothes. Employ time
profitably. Never borrow, seldom lend.
Avoid betting and gaming. Keep reg
ular accounts, and examine your posi-
ton from day to day, determining to
eat nothing that is unpaid for, nor to
allow your tailor or dressmaker to say
that the garments you wear are not
your own. BY this process you will
soon get rid Of the annoyance. and
your mental and bodily health will won.

The lawyers mentioned here are probably the
0nes who made the most impression at the bar
Of Ross County in the earliest days Of the Terri
tory and State.
The first Ohio law was passed on the 18th
day Of March, 1909, and II Is signed by Michael
Baldwin, Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tives, and Nathaniel Massie, Speaker Of the
Senate. It is an act providing for the compen-
sation Of the employees Of the General Assem-
bly,.
The first appropriations made by an Ohio
Legislature seem at this day absurdly small
Ono paragraph Of the law reads:
ITO the Secretary Of State, the sum Of twenty
ave dollars, for to furnish stationery"
The stationery bill Of the State Of Ohio now
amounts to more than 5000 year.
Another item reads: 'Dr. To Adam Betz
for fre-wood and candles furnished the present
General Assembly, three dollars and twenty
Avc cents
The total fund for the current expenditures
Of the State appropriated by the first Legisla-
ture was e1O85O. This year the departments
Of the State Of Ohio ask for appropriations
amounting in the aggregate to -, 100000.
In the acts Of the first session Of the first
General Assembly, held under the first consti.
tuition Of Ohio, In 1903, which were printed by
Nathaniel Willis, grandfather Of the poet, q de-
eCf1pt1On OF tn0 StaJe seal Is IOunu IN law pre-
scribing the duties Of the Secretary Of State,
who was, at that time, William Creighton. The
act says: 1.-THE Secretary Of State shall pro-
cure a seal, one inch and q half in diameter,
for the use Of each and every county now or
hereafter to be created, on which seal shall be
engraved the following device: On the right
side near the bottom, q sheaf Of wheat, and on
the left Q bundle Of seventeen arrows, both
standing erect, in the background, and rising
above the sheaf and arrows q mountain, over
which shall appear rising sun. The State seal
TO be surrounded by these words: The great
seal Of the State Of Ohio.'" Later keel boat
was added to the device, but 1t has been dropped
again.
The mountain over which the rising sun is
seen on the great seal Of Ohio is Mount Logan,
Just east of Chillicothc, and SO called in honor
of the famous Indian chief Of that name. When
the seal was adopted the Capital was at Chilli
cothe, and 1t was easy and natural for the de-
signer to bring Mount Logan into his drawing
The Significance Of the arrows and wheat on the
seal is not precise. The bunch of arrows prob
ably has some connection with the number Of
States in the Union at that time, Ohio being
number seventeen In the group Of the Union

to be indicative of the future commercial and
agricultural importance OF the new State Thos

represented on the seal was purchased by his
father, Anthony Wake, at an early period in
the history Of the State, from Humphrey Full
lerton who was for many years clerk Of the
common pleas court Of Ross County.
I am told by old settlers that the view on the
seal was taken from DR.. Arthur Watts farm
and from part of 1t, now included within the
eastern limits of the city.
Mr. Anthony Wake, referred to above, was
born in Norfolk, Va. and was o schoolmate ut
Yale Of John c. Calhoun.
At an early age he was appointed, by Presi-
dent Jefferson, to convey to the Dey Of Algiers,
the tribute exacted from civilized nations for
the privilege Of trading with the "Barbary
Powers" and this was the last tribute paid by
our Government to the Dey Of Algiers.
Mr.. Wake came early to the State Of Ohio,
where he purchased large tracts Of land, and
was liberal and public spirited citizen-giving
largely to public institutions and the church.
He often represented Ross County in the
State Legislature as Representative and SEN
ator, and is remembered by the old settlers as
an able writer and speaker
The best information to hands to the effect
that the burial place Of the celebrated Indian
Chieftain Logan is somewhere on the range OF
hills east OF Chillicothe, portion Of which are
shown on the seal Of Ohio.
Captain John Boggs, who fought in Lord
Dunmore's war, met Logan on Congo Creek,
where Lewis was turned back by Dunmore,
Pickaway plains and erected his cabin on o
pleasant spot near the elm trees where Logan
made his celebrated speech.
Major John Boggs, son Of Captain Boggs,
married the widow Of o Captain Taylor, of
GAINESVILLE, and during his residence there
Major Boggs told Judge Putnam and Judge
Blockson that he had frequently heard his
father say that the Indian Chieftain Logan was
buried on Logan Hill, as 1t was then called, on
the northeast bank Of the scotio river, oppo-
site Chillicothe.
Captain George Wolfe, o scout in Dunmore's
campaign, told his family the same facts re-
specting the burial place of Logan A son Of
his, Frank Wolfe, was the owner Of the land
where General Lewis camped In 1T4
Frederick Burley, chief Indian spy under
General Lewis, while on circle hunt on the
headwaters Of Rattlesnake, stopped with the
noted panther-killer, Captain VIM. Robinson,
and during an evening conversation stated
that he had often been at Logan's cabin on
Mount Logan; that Logan was killed by On
Indian, while seated under Q tree In front Of
his cabin, and buried in the center Of mound,
and that he had often seen his grave.

Creighton was elected to Congress several
times, first in 1915, and later in 1897. He was

He was devoted follower of Henry Clay's

IL hns been estimated that the present
mode OF branding cattle tn the western
country damages their hides TO the extent
OF about $l2,O 00, 600 annually, which il a
toleraoly large sum for the cattle raisers
and the meat consuming public TO pay
every year, to maintain a practice which
Is cruel, improvident and unnecessary.
There must Of course be some distin-
gushing mark placed upon range cattle
in order TO know who they belong to, and
1t must be one which will endure weather
and wear, and which cannot easily be nj.
tered or obliterated by dishonest men.
Bat there must be n better way TO accom-
plish this end than burning enormous
brands upon the most valuable portions OF
the hide, and multiplying them with every
change OF ownership.
An intelligent writer In The New York
Live Stock Journal discusses this matter
at length and suggests some alternatives
which are probably the best and only ones
AT present known, yet none OF them are
practical. Among them are the use OF
acids or stains, coloring the horns or cut
ting them at different lengths, brands on
the hoof or horn, ear marks, the use Of
tags, etc. But all OF these lack the Gle
ments OF sufficient variety, permanence
and security; Yankee ingenuity should
surely lind something better.

would doubtless be universally adopted
